Question about files backup
Hi thee
I'm going to backup my patched EverQuest game folder (The version that can login eqemu). But due to my limited drive space, I can't backup my whole game folder. So, could someone tell me the necessary files' name that needed for eqemu, so that I can just backup them instead of whole EQ game folder? I believe those files wouldn't be too large in size compared with all files in EQ folder. (Not asking for sending me the files but just the file name list) I dunno if it violates the forum rules or not. If it does, I apologise and please simply delete my post (Don't ban me please I beg you :cry: ) Thanks for help btw I would rather burn a CD for backup, but I don't have CD burner yet.... |
buy a new hard drive. you can get 20gb for like 30-40 bucks.

Seems its impossible to give the files' name in anyway. Thanks for the reply.
btw I'm telling the turth with my situation. I have to share the space with my whole family coz I don't own the comp. You're too much defensive but I understand that. Well this project really rocks. Great job! 8) |
I wasnt avoiding the question.. if i knew the file names i would give them to you.
I'm just saying the BEST way to backup the "EQEmuQuest" install is to have it in its own folder. I have a separate folder for EQEmuQuest on a seperate hard drive and I just run it from there. all i do is run the eqw shortcut on my desktop which points to my second hard drive. It doesnt mess with EQLive at all and i will always be able to play eqemu. |
Or you can just NOT play Live anymore, that is how i handled it :D
|
Well I stopped playing EQLive for about 2 years. :)
All I want to do now is to have a backup for EQemu coz my stuff in comp always got accidentally deleted by other users. Maybe I should ask for a burner :roll: |
The three main files I backed up that worked for me:
1) eqhost.txt - Tells the game what login server IP to use. 2) eqgame.exe - Game executable. 3) eqgfx_dx8.dll - Game's main graphics DLL. Just backing up those files before an EQLive patch managed to let me log back into EQEmu afterwards, however there were a few bugs related to spells and abilities. So I also suggest backing up the additional files: 4) eqstr_en.txt - Contains plain text strings the game uses for generic english messages. 5) spells_en.txt - Contains english spell data. |
Yeah!
Thanks so much! :D |
